A villa renovation is the only project type where the client lives with the result every day and often lives in the building while it happens. The tolerance for mess, noise and slipped dates is the lowest of any sector we work in.
Private clients are not procurement departments. They judge the job by how it was run as much as by how it finished — whether the site was clean, whether the dates held, and whether anyone answered the phone.
Usually a mix of structural alteration, full MEP replacement, new joinery, finishes throughout and external works — and often a pool and landscape at the same time. The design and the authority approvals come first; the demolition should not start until the permit is in hand.
For anything structural, for changes to the external appearance, and for modifications to MEP services, yes — from Dubai Municipality or the authority governing the community, plus Civil Defence and DEWA where relevant. Community developers usually require their own NOC before that.
Sometimes, in phases, but it should be a deliberate decision rather than an assumption. Living on site means the programme is longer, the working hours are shorter and the protection and cleaning requirements are higher. All three should be priced in from the start.
Yes, under the same contract. Pool structure, waterproofing, finishes and plant, plus paving, planting, irrigation and external lighting. Keeping them inside one contract removes the interfaces where levels, drainage and conduits are usually argued over.
A named engineer and a named site manager, from day one. For a private client this matters more than anything else on this page — you should know who is picking up the phone before you need to call them.
Describe the job and we route it internally — you do not have to work out which of our companies you need. We reply within one working day, in writing.
